Sensitive Skin ✔️

Chapter thirteen

Tomorrow is Token's sleep over. I went downstairs to get permission from my mom. As I walked downstairs I saw my dad in the kitchen reading a newspaper next to mom. A bit pissed that he's here but I asked anyway.

"Hey mom, can I spend the night at Token's tomorrow." Before my mom could even answer. My dad jumped in.

"Is that McCormick kid going to be there?"

"No." I didn't lie, he didn't want to go. Or he couldn't go? Forgot.

"Your still hung up on that?" Said my mom.

"Yes I'm still hung up on that. Aren't you. I don't want my son to be gay, I don't want my son to be following a... trend!"

"Trend? So being gay is a trend dad?"

"Yes. Because every kid like you are just dating the same gender so that they can look cool or different. It's not cool."

"Do you even hear yourself right now?" I asked.

"Craig has a point. Being gay isn't a trend because being gay isn't a choice."

"No, stop! Your always taking his side!"

"Dad I didn't even ask you, I asked mom. And why would you care anyway if I'm gay or not, what you'll disown me?"

"Yes!" He said, with no hesitation. I tried not to look hurt by his answer. Of course I don't care if he disown me, but geez you didn't have to answer so carelessly.

"Thomas!" Yelled my mom.

"I'm not going to own a kid that follows the gay trend for attention. It's stupid and weird."

"No what's stupid is disowning your son for such a little thing. It's not a trend to be gay first off. It's not a choice to be gay, your either are or your not. Second, what if your son is gay. He's still your son!" I just walked up stairs, ignoring the conversation. Welp, so much for asking.

The next day I get a text from my mom saying.

I'm at work, taking a co-workers' shift. I'm cool with u going to the sleep over, ur dad is acting strange, I recommend not bothering him 😒. Have fun, be safe, bring protection 😉.

Sometimes I love and hate my mom. Mostly love. It's my dad that's pissing me off. What is he so pissed for. Because he lost a fight between me and his wife. He should really get over himself.

I packed the stuff I needed for the sleep over and walked out my room. I walked downstairs, and to my surprise, my father wasn't down here. I grabbed the house keys and walked out the door. Since my mom is at work, I asked Clyde to give me a lift to Tokens. I saw him in front of my house and I walked to his car.

"Took you long enough Craig,"

"Pfft, what ever." I got into his car and we pulled off. I looked out the window and watched as the houses passed by. His radio didn't work, so it was awkward silence.

"So you know Kenny's coming right," said Clyde, breaking the silence.

"How do you know?"

"He texted me, asking for a ride to Tokens. We're going to his place actually." Well that's cool.

"I think Kenny has a crush on you,"

"Why would you think that?"

"Because, he's been asking about you lately. Who knows, if you two go out, maybe we can do a double date. You and Kenny, me and Tweek." I stopped looking out the window and looked at Clyde.

"What do you mean, you and Tweek?You guys aren't dating,"

"I know. I kinda wanted to ask him out. If it's okay with you,"

"Why would you ask me?"

"Dude, you've been on Tweek like he was your child. I don't know if you have a crush on him or something-,"

"Then why didn't you ask me," I interrupted. "Why didn't you ask me if I had a crush on him, before you force him into a relationship with you,"

"I didn't force anything onto Tweek,"

"Yes you are. And for one thing, he never even showed that he likes you more then a friend. You kissing him, and flirting with him, is proof that your forcing him to go out with you, when he doesn't." Clyde stop the car in front of Kenny's house.

"Craig, I love you and all. But please shut up,"

"Clyde, don't use Tweek,"

"For what, I'm not using him for anything."

"Your using him to make Token jealous. Just get it threw your thick ass skull that Token is straight, and even if he wasn't, he wouldn't come back to you, because your a fucking lying ass bitch that uses guys and girls to make a boy jealous!"

"Craig!" Clyde yelled. I had more to say but I just kept my mouth shut.

We waited for Kenny in silence.
